Sounds like a budgie is tweeting from the wheels
Hi guys,
I'm getting what I can only describe as a budgie tweeting from my front wheels. Not all the time, but when it happens if I apply the brakes the noise stops. Any ideas ?

Must be brake related as, like yours, it stops if I apply the brake even very lightly!!!
I'm gonna strip them firm one weekend and give them a good clean and see what it's rubbing on |

Funnily enough, I've also been getting like a squelching noise from my near side rear wheel, the only way I can describe the sound is it's like the tyre has got double sided sticky tape round half of the wheel, so as it moves I hear a squelching noise as the wheel moves round...............any ideas??

Could be all minor of things from dirty sliders to small stone etc wedged on the backplate / disc & pad, describing it is difficult, I'd wager that a strip clean will solve the issue sliders are normally the culprit but a lack of copper grease on the back of the pads (we've seen plenty of these) especially when it's hot'n'dusty as it is now can also play a part.
Failing that if you do discover a budgie lodged in there somewhere I suspect it was looking for some cuttlefish and discovered your disc was a suitable replacement for sharpening it's beak
